'This is an engrossing tale of mayhem, villainy and pillage. What is most shocking about this book is that it is not fiction. It is the story of one family's struggle for survival on a cattle station in far north Queensland. The chronicle - a relentless unfolding of events over six years - tells of cattle duffing, organised harassment, victimisation, arson, corruption in local and state politics, and bent police.' - Back cover
